It's pretty tame stuff, but it got the Republican establishment's panties in a bunch.

CITIZENS FOR NEW JERSEY ASSEMBLY

CONTRACT WITH NEW JERSEY

As Republican and Independent members of the New Jersey General Assembly, and as citizen candidates seeking to join that body, we are determined to restore the public's trust in their government and enact meaningful reforms to change New Jersey's culture of corruption and make our state affordable once again. We are not endorsed or funded by special interest groups. Together, we represent a new majority in the State Assembly that will permanently change our course. Fellow citizens of New Jersey, we hear your call and we ask you to join with us.

When elected as the new majority in the State Assembly, we pledge to immediately implement the following reforms in New Jersey:

1. Eliminate legal corruption: Expand pay to play rules and Conflicts of Interest law to unions and special interest groups who are the recipients of public funds.

2. Pension reform: New Jersey's pension system is broken and in badly need of reform. Only citizen representatives who are free from special interest groups can provide the change that is needed to make it more fair and rational for the workers and the taxpayers.

3. Competitive benefits for government workers: Taxpayers are burdened enough. All state workers, including legislators, must begin making contributions to their State-provided health care benefits.

4. Meaningful penalties for abuse of power: End the culture of corruption by stiffening penalties for violators of the public trust.

5. Election competition: Election reform to restore competitive elections by eliminating campaign war chests and opening up the process to regular citizens who seek to challenge incumbents.
